Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9854391A1] An apparatus for binding a button-fixing thread (12) running through a button (10) sewed on a garment or other fabric, which is capable of winding a binding thread (56) around the button-fixing thread by several turns in a safe, simple, easy and convenient manner while forming a twist with the binding thread at every turn, thereby not only preventing the button from being separated due to a loosening of the button-fixing thread (12) during a strong washing operation or an operation of passing the button through a button slit formed in the garment, but also achieving an improvement in the binding operation and an improvement in the reliability in use. The apparatus includes a thread hooking plate (44) adapted to hook the binding thread (56) to be wound around the button-fixing thread (12) when the drum (26) rotates, a twisting member (52) adapted to twist the binding thread hooked by the thread hooking plate (44) and to separate the twisted binding thread from the thread hooking plate (44) after the thread hooking plate rotates by a predetermined angle, and a twist forming member (54) adapted to hook the binding thread (56) twisted by the twisting member (52) after the twisting member rotates by a predetermined angle, thereby forming a complete twist with the binding thread (56).
